What is DMG going to do now??? They set rules in place for an unfair advantage in the Sportbike class and allowed their 1125RR homologated motorcycle for the Superbike class this year.

Well, I guess I won't be buying a Buell. Bummer.

Sorry to see Buell gone and the Motor Company face hard times. The high buck recreation market ain't what it was. Maybe this will convince the jacktards in Daytona that their plans for a road racing renaissance for 'murican iron ain't ever gonna happen.

The Buell brand was just too different. And with the normal sport bike rider not at all interested in the bikes, the company was really doomed from the get-go. They looked different, sounded different, handled different, and cost more nearly twice as much as a bike with the same performance.
